Pomaderris aspera

Hazel Pomaderris is a small slender tree growing commonly in wet shaded forests in the South-East of Australia. The common name hazel, would seem to refer to the roughness of the leaves, like the hazels. Otherwise it has no similarity to hazel. The small creamy flowers, without petals are in large clusters and are not particularly attractive. The seed are tiny in clusters of three for each flower. We have grown these with success from seed for revegetation projects within Morwell National Park and also in other sites locally and they have grown well. I have tried twice to establish a seedling in my garden, but both died!
